Frequently Asked Questions
What is the optional Cable Management Arm (CMA) used for?
It allows you to extend the system from the rack for service without powering down or disconnecting the cables.
How do I secure loose cables in a static rail setup?
Use the provided hook-and-loop straps, bundling and securing them to either the left or right rail as described in the installation instructions.
Can the CMA be used with static rails?
No, the CMA is compatible only with sliding rails, not the static rails.
What tool is needed if I must remove outer CMA brackets for a shallow rack without using a CMA?
You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws securing the brackets to the rails.
